GIFT Nifty indicated that Indian equity indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 may see a positive opening on Thursday. Here’s a look at the key stocks to watch in trade.

Stocks in Focus: GIFT Nifty traded up by 23 points or 0.11% at 21,603, indicating positive opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Thursday. Previously, on Wednesday, the NSE Nifty 50 dropped 148.45 points or 0.69% to settle at 21,517.35, while the BSE Sensex ended lower by 535.88 points or 0.75% to 71,356.60.

“The Nifty dipped below the support level of 21650, resulting in a decline towards 21500. The prevailing sentiment appears weak, highlighted by the index closing below the crucial support at 21650. If it continues to drop below 21500 in the upcoming days, it could potentially exacerbate the negative sentiment, especially with expectations of substantial unwinding by put writers below 21500. The broader market outlook suggests a sell-on-rise strategy as long as it stays below 21650,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
